[WSG] Dropdowns in IE

[Andrew Dunning]

This one has me really stumped. Doesn't help not having a copy of 
Windows to test with, but oh well.

Basically, I'm trying to use the Suckerfish technique to get the 
dropdown menus that my school is insisting on using to work in IE. In 
IE 6, at least (haven't been able to access IE 5.5), the menus seem to 
go down an extra 30px, but it's needed in other browsers to make sure 
the menus don't overlap.

If anyone else can suggest an alternate navigation method, that would 
probably be easier.

Hello Andrew,

I had similar issues working with the slippery little suckerfish a week or so
ago. The first thing you have to do to make IE play is take out the white spaces
between your list tags...

ul
liitem one/li
liitem one/li
/ul

changes to:

ulliitem one/liliitem one/li/ul

You will still have to do some tweaking but that will fix most of your IE problems.
